  • So speakeasy's are late night, secret bars that now a days specialize in cocktails. Well, we came in at 12:30 for a night cap. Obviously the place was closing, but we just wanted a drink. We sit down and they inform us that we have to order food. They say this is a restaurant and we have to order food. NO ONE WAS THERE! It is not like we were taking up space where someone would be having a full meal. He even said we could just order 1 oyster for $2.50. What is the point then? We do because we just wanted a good cocktail to end the night and my wife would not be unhappy with an oyster too. She LOVES them anyways. Ok, whatever. Then we looked through the cocktails and it wasn't very creative. Now, I'm not docking any stars for this. I have noticed that in non USA countries, speakeasy's have classic cocktails and they aren't big on original drinks. So, I get an old fashion (I love them) and my wife gets a Manhattan (she loves them). We get our drinks and hers is TERRIBLE! There is something very off about hers. Mine is ok, but it is a little more sweet than anyone would like, but whatever. Honestly, we are always shy about complaining at all. I know all the foodie people say it is your duty and if the place is good, they will appreciate it. My wife knows Manhattans and every bar should be able to make a decent one. We tell the waiter she doesn't like it. It has too much vermouth or something is very wrong. He does take it back, but he says that my wife should get something sweeter. Now this is insulting for two reasons. One, he thinks the drink is good and that it is my wife's fault that she doesn't like it and two, he thinks woman can only drink fruity and sweet drinks. Now my wife is very angry, so she orders a scotch instead just to spite him. So do you think it is over? NOPE! The bartender comes over and says there is nothing wrong with her drink and that maybe we aren't used to the very strong tasting vermouth they use. Keep in mind my wife LOVES Manhattans! We are speechless though. Did he want us to admit it was our fault? I tried her drink as well and it was definitely wrong and tasted terrible. We have had vermouth before, it wasn't just the type of vermouth. We just say ok and finish our drinks and get the out. Anyways, there are many lovely reviews for this place, but our experience was terrible. Don't go for a nightcap. Maybe the dining experience is nice. Also, they propped open the secret door when we got there. So that just seemed lazy on there part.
